About this course

The core of the program reflects a traditional approach to English studies, including literary, historical and genre-based courses. What makes the department distinctive, however, is the cross-listing of a number of its courses with other disciplines or programs, such as Atlantic Canada Studies, Linguistics, Irish Studies, and Creative Writing. This allows students to expand their area of academic study in ways that reflect interdisciplinary approaches and their own developing interests.
